White Diamond® Bedding rose INTeramon – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
White Diamond® Bedding rose INTeramon offers a compact bushy floribunda structure and reliable repeat-flowering in uniform clusters, giving nursery lines a consistent, medium-maintenance bed and edging option for standard containers. Its snow-white colour holds well, supporting predictable “white bedding” programmes for retail and reseller channels where dependable performance and clear assortment positioning matter. Own-root NEONATAL material provides a stable propagation base with long-term regeneration and low replacement in nursery beds and 2–3 L cropping, helping build homogeneous stock for thematic collections and project-led ranges. Over time the plant develops strongly, with roots consolidating in the first year, shoots massing in the second, and full ornamental effect reached from the third, while its hardiness suits Scottish and northern sites where winter-exposed plantings are common, supporting wholesale rose supply needing consistent volume and scalable capacity for UK professional growers.

Bushy, compact shrub habit reaching about 100–140 cm in height and 85–115 cm spread, with moderately dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning behaviour not documented. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double, cup-shaped flowers of medium size in clustered inflorescences, typically 13–25 petals per bloom; remontant with abundant second flowering, providing continuous decorative effect in bedding schemes. |
